[00:08.95]mothers have woven a black velvet ocean
[00:15.88]and spread it between the night and day shores
[00:22.70]so that children might sleep gently rocked by the motion
[00:30.50]of waves beneath boats built by fathers like yours
[00:38.14]with you safe aboard by the shore we will linger
[00:45.54]and watch as your breathing it fills up the sail
[00:53.28]you loosen the moorings your grip on our finger
[01:01.14]and leave on the velvet a silvery trail
[01:11.23]
[01:17.22]along on the shore with our hearts close to broken
[01:24.27]we stand in the wake as you glide from our reach
[01:31.89]calmed by the thought that the voyage you are taking
[01:38.95]will bring you at dawning back safe to this beach
[01:46.81]we cannot sail with you, be there to guide you
[01:54.30]or pilot your boat through the black of the night
[02:01.75]but no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you
[02:10.05]away from pur love and its undying light
[02:19.80]
[02:51.59]we cannot sail with you, be there to guide you
[02:58.76]or pilot your boat through the black of the night
[03:06.07]but no ocean can keep you, no darkness can hide you
[03:14.51]away from pur love and its undying light
[03:25.01]
